I'm not in the spin room. I'm just like Beetlejuice. When invoked, I appear for my adoring fans. :D

(On a slightly more serious note, one can only wonder what the reaction would be if HTC promised great sound with Beats, delivered muddy poor-quality sound, and then said "we'll fix it soon with a firmware update." Do you think it would be pitched by The Usual Suspects as Good News for HTC?) ;)

The company that is launching with a known-defective camera and promising a fix at a future date is more trustworthy than the company launching with a phone that's been confirmed flawless by reviewers.

I think it's great that Nokia has acknowledged a problem and promised a fix, but seems like if the camera is the big selling point they would have tested it and fixed the problem before releasing the phone to the public.

Goodness me. My ears are blushing from the gall of it! :D

Defective camera? Being a little over dramatic there.

The camera is great as-is. But people want it to be in the conversation as the "best" for all environments.

So Nokia is going to update it to improve it in the areas where it's not as strong as the iPhone.

That's a far cry from "defective."

Defective would be the sound quality and reception on something like the HTC Titan.

To be serious for a rare moment, it's just more evidence of how badly this launch has been executed. Easily the most incompetent tech launch since the Osborne II. Launch a phone differentiated almost entirely by its camera, then concede in public that the camera doesn't perform well in daylight but "a fix is coming."

Yeesh.

Oh, and boys -- if you don't want me winding you up, don't drop my name in public ;)

Don't worry I still have the thread bookmarked where you said T-Mobile would get the devices before AT&T.

Of course it's not a bad camera at all and I would love to have that phone, but with the pureview name and all the hype regarding the camera it should be the best in daylight too. No way the iPhone should be better.

It's the phone I'm getting, so I want it to beat other cameras in every scenario too.

Never have I heard people so giddy about receiving known bad software. At least a fix is coming. Hope it doesn't take as long as it has taken them to fix the Lumia 900 low level light problems.
